The father has no legal argument if the potential newborn is adopted, aborted, or effortlessly deserted on the doorsteps of a fire station. The female also dictates the social and economic future of the impregnating male. It is her choice to deny his parenthood with an abortion or economically enslave him with custody battles that often lead to years of child support payments. Feminist insist that these women endure physical and emotional pain in the termination or birth of an infant. This inconvenience does not change the fact that the lack of male input in making the decision goes against the fundamentals of gender equality. Like any pleasure-driven risk, these women need to evaluate these consequences prior to fornication.
The biased practices of the feminist movement are not exclusive to underground activists. Even established journalists tend to jump the gun whenever it is remotely possible that an American male was the aggressor in sexual misconduct. Those who reside in America are governed by a system of laws, when a person is accused of a crime he or she has the same rights as the accuser. According to Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary, ". a defendant is innocent until proven guilty" (Cornell Law). Prior to a completed trial, the verdict behind any allegation is considered an opinion. Since this is the case, voters of the 2003 California recall election should disregard the partisan opinion of author Anna Quindlen. She attacks them and Governor Schwarzenegger by first stating an alleged crime he committed should alter the voters' decision. Quindlen says, "Californians were willing to ignore Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged career as a serial sexual bigot" (Quindlen 2). She then gave the implication that the governor stood by these allegations with the quote, "the fact that one of the actor's defenses was that he didn't realize that this was objectionable, otherwise the governor-elect of California wouldn't be a guy who thinks it's 'playful' to grab and grope, and the voters wouldn't ratify that attitude" (Quindlen 2-3).
